Shutdown talk grows in GOP

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/224244-shutdown-talk-grows-in-gop

"SNIP..........................


Conservative House Republicans say they’re willing to shut down the government to prevent President Obama from carrying out what they see as unconstitutional actions on immigration.

Tea Party lawmakers emboldened by the GOP’s big midterm gains say they will insist on attaching a policy rider to legislation keeping the government open that would block funding for agencies carrying out Obama’s promised executive actions limiting deportations.

If the Democratic Senate or Obama rejects the rider, the government could shut down. A current measure funding the government expires on Dec. 12.

“I am insisting on that [rider] because the president is violating his executive privilege,” GOP Rep. Paul Gosar, who represents the border state of Arizona, said in an interview Friday.

I'm in a cynical mood tonight.

11. The Republicans sure suffered from their 2013 shutdown didn't they?

Of course they will try or do it again during an odd numbered year without an election.

They go around using the word 'unconstitutional' as if it is undefined.
